A transgender model, who was sacked by L’Oreal over a race row has been enlisted as an adviser to the Labour Party.
Munroe Bergdorf, 29, was dropped by the cosmetics giant after she branded all white people ‘racist’.
And she sparked fresh controversy in December when she repeatedly used the n-word during an appearance on Good Morning Britain in December.
But it has emerged that she has got a new role advising Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party on LGBT issues.
The role will see her work with Labour’s shadow secretary of state Dawn Butler on equality issues.

She announced the news yesterday on Twitter alongside a picture of her with the Labour leader.
She tweeted: ‘Thrilled to announce that I’ve been asked to be part of an LGBT+ advisory board for The Labour Party – To advise Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, Dawn Butler MP, on issues affecting the LGBT+ community…’
A spokeswoman for Dawn Butler MP said: ‘Dawn is proud to stand with those challenging discrimination. Dawn will consult with the LGBT+ advisory group on a wide-range of LGBT+ issues.’
The 29-year-old British star appeared in its recent ‘#allworthit’ campaign with Cheryl Cole and Katie Piper.
But she hit the headlines when she was dropped from her lucrative new role, after branding ‘all white people’ racist.
James Cleverly, vice chairman or the Tory Party, told Mail Online: ‘Jeremy Corbyn promised a kinder politics – but yet again he has failed to deliver.
‘Monroe has said deeply unpalatable things about ‘white people’, gay Tories and even the right to vote, yet Labour has now appointed her as an equalities adviser.
‘Many people in the Labour Party will have serious concerns about this appointment.’
Ms Bergdorf, who was born a boy called Ian, works as a DJ and trans activist as well as modelling.
She began living as a woman at the age of 18 but was prescribed hormones by a doctor only four years ago.
In a lengthy Facebook rant earlier this year, she wrote: ‘Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people.
‘Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour.
‘Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s***.
‘Come see me when you realise that racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited and consciously or unconsciously passed down through privilege.
Munroe Bergdorf has sent a string of offensive tweets which critics say are racist
The role will see the model work with Labour’s shadow secretary of state Dawn Butler (pictured) on equality issues.
‘Once white people begin to admit that their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth… then we can talk.
‘Until then stay acting shocked about how the world continues to stay f***** at the hands of your ancestors and your heads that remain buried in the sand with hands over your ears.’
She also branded the suffragettes ‘white supremacists’ in a tweet posted earlier this month during the centenary celebrations of women’s right to vote.
She wrote: ‘FYI – The Suffragettes were white supremacists who were fighting for WHITE women’s rights – they specifically left black women out of the movement.
‘It is not 100 years since women got the vote it’s 100 years since WHITE women got the vote. Black women couldn’t vote until MUCH later.’
She has also attacked homosexual Conservatives, writing online: ‘Gay male Tories are a special kind of d**khead. It’s actually quite astonishing.’
